WARNING: Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions before using this
equipment. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in personal injury.
WORKPIECE SAFETY
1. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform using clamps or another practical method. Never hold it in your hand
or across your legs. Unstable support could result in a loss of control and personal injury.
2. Small workpieces must be adequately secured so that the rotating planer blades don’t pick them up during the
forward motion of the planer.
3. Check the workpiece for nails and other foreign objects. If there are nails, either remove them or set them well
below the intended finished surface. Any article that encounters planer blades may be forcibly ejected from planer
creating risk of injury.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Avoid accidental start-ups. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting the plug to a
power source or carrying the tool.
2. Check power tool for damaged parts. Check for misalignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper
mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn ON/OFF. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.
3. Do not force the tool to do a job for which it was not designed. Use the correct power tool and accessories and
follow the instructions for your application to prevent hazardous situations.
4. Remove adjustment tools. Always make sure all adjustment tools or wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning on the power tool.
5. Keep guards in place and in working order before operating the tool. All protection and safety devices must be
in place after completing repair and maintenance procedures
6. Never leave a running tool unattended. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
POWER TOOL MAINTENANCE
1. Always disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical outlet when making adjustments, changing parts, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
2. Maintain power tools properly. Safely store power tools out of the reach of children. Always keep tools clean and
in good working order. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

OPERATION SAFETY
1. Always use ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses. Wear hearing protection to prevent hearing damage during op-
eration. Use face mask or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
2. Keep handles and hands dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery surfaces can cause you to lose control
of the power tool.
3. Always hold the planer firmly with both hands for maximum control.
4. Only hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces in case the cutter contacts its own cord. Cutting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
5. Always start the planer before the blade is in contact with the workpiece. Let the blade reach full speed before
using the tool. The planer can vibrate and possibly kickback if the cutting speed is too slow.
6. Do not plane end grain, as the wood could splinter or possibly explode. Always plane along the grain direction of
the wood. Never plane against the grain direction.
7. Never pull the planer backwards over the workpiece. Loss of control may occur.
8. Do not put fingers or any objects into the chip extraction port.
9. Remove the plug from power source before removing chips. Do not clean out chips while the tool is running.
Contact with the blade drum will cause injury as the blades are hidden from view and you may be cut if the blade
is contacted.
10. Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface, lead-
ing to possible loss of control and serious injury.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
1. Unplug the planer before making adjustments or changing accessories. Accidental start-ups may occur if the
planer is plugged in during an accessory change.
2. Planer blades are sharp. Wear protective work gloves when removing/installing blades or turning the blade drum.
3. After changing blades, rotate the blade drum to make sure the blades don’t hit any part of the blade head housing
and that the blade locking screws are tight. Loose or misaligned blades have the potential to damage the tool and
cause possible injury.
4. Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning be careful not to disassemble any por-
tion of the tool. Internal wires may be misplaced or pinched and safety guard return springs may be improperly
mounted.
5. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.

WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION CORDS
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier
cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS PROPERLY WIRED AND IN GOOD CONDITION. Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
PROTECT YOUR EXTENSION CORDS from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a
lower voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.
REPAIR OR REPLACE a damaged or worn cord immediately.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conduc-
tor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instruc-
tions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure,
have a licensed electrician check the outlet.

USING THE SAFETY KICKSTAND
The safety kickstand (Fig. B - 1) on the back of the planer swings
down to help keep the blade from coming into contact with the
work surface when the planer is not in use.
The kickstand is designed to swing up and out of the way by it
itself when the back of the planer crosses the leading edge of the
workpiece.
CONNECTING THE CHIP EXTRACTION PORT
Wood dust can be hazardous to your health. Whenever possible,
connect your planer to a suitable dust extraction system or dust
bag through the dust extraction port (Fig. C - 1). The size of the
port is 1-1/4 inch. Hose adaptors (not included) may be needed
depending on the size of your dust hose.
WARNING: Shavings may jam in the dust extraction
port when cutting damp wood. Never stick your finger
into the dust extraction port. Clean out the shavings
with a stick, but only when the cutter has stopped running and the
tool has been unplugged from the power source.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
The tool is equipped with a trigger lock to avoid unintentional
start-ups.
1. To turn the planer on, press the trigger lock (Fig. D - 1) and
then squeeze the trigger switch (Fig. D - 2).
2. To switch off, release the trigger switch.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, make sure all the instructions have been read and understood
before operating this tool. Before plugging the machine into the power supply, always check that the trig-
ger switch and trigger lock work properly.

THE DO’S AND DONT’S OF GRAIN DIRECTION
It is important that the planer should always be cutting in the same
direction as the grain of the wood (Fig. F). There are six sides to ev-
ery board: two face grains, two side/edge grains, and two end grains.
You can plane along the direction of the grain with the face grain or
side/edge grain facing upwards, but never plane with the end grain
side facing upwards. Otherwise, the board has a chance of splinter-
ing and exploding inside of the planer, which could cause serious
injury and damage.
When planing the face and side/edge grain, always plane in the di-
rection of the grain. Do not plane perpendicular to the grain, other-
wise the board also has a chance of splintering and exploding.
WARNING: never plane against the grain direction of
the wood. Do not plane end grain, as the wood could
splinter or possibly explode.
NOTE: The minimum cutting increment is 1/128 inch (0.2 mm). The maximum cutting depth of the planer is
1/16 inch. However, the more material you attempt to take off with each pass, the less even the final board will be.
The appropriate cutting depth depends on the material of your workpiece. For optimum planing performance, the
maximum cutting depth should be 1/64 of an inch per pass. Make multiple progressive cuts, removing less than 1/64
inch with each pass to achieve the total cutting depth. To accurately determine the depth of cut, plane a similar piece
of scrap material and adjust the settings accordingly.
CAUTION: Always ensure that the number on the depth gauge is at the “0” position when the tool is
not in use. However, even at “0”, a slightly protrusive blade could still make contact depending on how
the blade was installed. Engage the safety kickstand to prevent the blade from contacting the workpiece.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
The cutting depth of a planer is determined by the height difference
between the adjustable front shoe and the cutting edge of the blade.
The depth adjustment knob retracts the front shoe to adjust how
much blade is exposed, which determines the amount of material
that will be removed. To adjust the cutting depth:
Rotate the depth adjustment knob (Fig. E - 1) until the indicator
arrow (Fig. E - 2) aligns with the desired cutting depth on the depth
gauge. Turn the depth adjustment knob clockwise for a deeper cut
and counter-clockwise for a shallower cut. Fig. E

DETERMINING THE FEED RATE
The proper feed rate will depend on the type of material being cut and the depth of the cut. Moving the planer too
fast may cause a poor quality of cut and can damage the blades or the motor; moving the machine too slowly may
burn or mar the cut. Practice first on a scrap piece of material to gauge the correct feed rate and cutting dimensions.
WARNING: Wear safety goggles at all times that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Use ear protection such as
plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Wear a
face mask or dust mask to fight the dust.
OPERATION
OPERATING YOUR PLANER
1. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. Make sure that the surface to be planed is face grain or side grain. Do
not plane end grain, as the wood could splinter or possibly explode (see page 9 “The Do’s and Dont’s of Grain
Direction).
2. Hold the planer firmly with both hands. Rest the front shoe flat on the workpiece surface, ensuring that the blades
do not make contact with the workpiece.
3. Switch the tool ON and wait for the blades to reach full speed.
4. Move the tool gently forward along the grain of the wood. Apply pressure on the front of the tool at the beginning
of planing, and at the rear of the tool towards the end of the planing stroke.
5. Push the planer beyond the edge of the workpiece without tilting it downwards. Turn off the planer and wait for
the cutter to stop before setting the tool down.
NOTE: The feed rate and the depth of cutting determine the quality of the finish. Increase the depth of cut for
rough cutting and reduce the depth of the cut to achieve a smoother finish.
CAUTION: The motor may stall if improperly used or overloaded. Reduce the pressure (feed rate) or
the depth of cut to prevent possible damage to the tool if the motor labors.
MAKING A CHAMFER
The V-grooves in the front shoe allow for quick and easy chamfers,
creating a sloping edge along the corner of your workpiece. There
are two V-grooves, a large groove and a small groove (Fig. G) to
meet the needs of your particular project.
1. Make sure that the workpiece is secured to a stable platform.
2. Align the V-groove in the front shoe of the planer with the corner
edge of the workpiece (Fig. H). Be sure the blades are not touching
the workpiece. Place weight on the depth adjustment knob so that
the V-groove is absolutely flat on the edge to be beveled.
3. Switch the tool ON and wait for the blades to reach full speed.
4. Push the planer forward along the grain of the wood with steady
pressure on the front shoe.
5. Push the planer beyond the edge of the workpiece without tilting
it downwards. Turn off the planer and wait for the cutter to stop
before setting the tool down.
